You have a coach named Mark who is a racist, homophobic pos on your staff who pushes his views on the kids he coaches. Not okay.

First time registering my son for the summer baseball program. I am excited for my son! So far we have had a smooth registration. No problems, or concerns at this time.
Gave a 4 star, because I had called a few times within an hour, but I finally got someone.

Seems to be controlled by people who do too many favors for local insiders creating unfair advantages in the leagues
